Vibration of the muscular tail causes separate segments to bounce against adjoining ones, creating buzzing sound. If it feels cornered, the startling, sizzling buzz of its rattle is an unmistakable warning.

Trumped is the New F*cked ☀ Tell "the Don": "Go Trump Yerself"

Trumped is the New F*cked

Let's try this new Trump-bot: "ISIS really needs to take Donald Trump out. If ever there were an ugly American ISIS needs to take out, it's Donald Trump." Jest kidding, you know sarcasm... out to a ballgame, please. "Trumped" is destined for curse-word infamy, right up there with "fucked", "hosed", "fubar" and "impaled on a micropenis."

One really bright prospect of the "Trumpocalypse": now one can categorize and identify all the loose-screw, a$$holes and supremacist nutbags in the local neighborhood, the media, and Washington DC. Place a big red "T" on their a$$es, for future reference. These are the folks who would round you up and put you in a concentration camp, break all the windows on command, all the while claiming how "great" their version of "security" is...

History may not repeat itself exactly, but it does crawl up into a mobster Tower, sends other people's kids to war and then smacks you in the head with a sack of gold coins. "Go Trump yerself"... "go get Trumped" ... "Trump-off". Such rich additions to our English vernacular!

Don't even get us started on the Spanish... jajaja. sopoʇ ɐ sǝɥɔoN sɐuǝnq ❤ ☀

Donald Trump’s Destruction Isn’t Funny Anymore

If you can live with this bloodthirsty hate, you have no right to call yourself a patriot

We are here.We have arrived here. Donald Trump last week called for Russia to
hack Hillary Clinton and commit rogue state espionage against a
political leader. That was treasonous in my mind. That was beyond all
reason. America reeled. He has thrown such insanity at us repeatedly
that it’s become normalized.

Mexicans are rapists. Muslim Americans and refugees alike are terror
threats. Women should be punished by law for seeking to end a pregnancy.
Build the wall. Round up Latino American families in the night like
rabid dogs.

This was all most foul. This week it got worse. On Tuesday, August 9,
Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s nominee to be leader of the free
world, outwardly promoted “Second Amendment” solutions against Hillary
Clinton: her body, her campaign, potential judicial nominees.

There is no gray area. This is exhorting gun violence. This is
pushing his followers to take up arms and inflict harm. Grievous harm.
Civil war.

Say no. If you are sane, if you stand with life, if you care about
this nation, our character and our survival, this is when you get off
the sidelines and say no. This is the line in the sand. Our
psychological Maginot Line has been breached.

There is no middle ground here. This is where you look into the
abyss, into the Day of the Locust, into this Helter Skelter, into this
proposed mayhem and make a choice and say no.

Today’s comments are not banter. They are not theories. This is real.
There is no turning back. He is saying there will be blood. I’m
horrified.

No longer can any worthwhile American say, “But the candidates are
the same.” No. It’s not a lesser of two evils. There is one evil. And it
is Trump. There is no cover. You can no longer and say, “He’s a
business guy.” Or, “I’m bothered by Hillary’s emails.” Or, “They’re all
the same.” Or, “He doesn’t mean it.” Or, “He’s an entertainer.”

He means it. He made that crystal clear today. He is calling for
internecine war. He is calling for all-out Armageddon. He is calling for
battle—beyond this election. This cannot be ignored.

I don’t want to hear that this is a breath of fresh air, he’s not
politically correct, or let’s let Donald be Donald. Donald is
antithetical to our character. He’s dangerous to our safety. We must
stop Donald being Donald at all costs.It’s black and white. It’s alpha omega. It’s a stark choice.

If you vote for Trump, you validate this. There is no grey area. It’s
now all or nothing. Make no mistake. If you support Donald Trump, you
condone this. You are okay with what he says and what he stands for. You
agree with him. You agree that Latin Americans should be rounded up.
You agree with his sick, twisted Second Amendment solutions. You say yes
to shootings. You agree with his destruction, his purposeful, glib rips
in our fabric. You want what he wants. You are fine with this.

I’m not. This is a “Have you no decency, sir?” moment in time: This is your choice and your fork in the road.

No American who loves this country has the excuse, cover or capacity
to waver and shrink and hide behind skirts after this week. If you are
with Trump, and his despicable irresponsibility, his bloodthirsty hate
for who we are, you have no right to call yourself a patriot.

Make the choice. It’s now or never.

This is the kind of talk that pushed Timothy McVeigh. That pushed a
shooter in Tucson after Sarah Palin said, “Don’t retreat, reload.” That
encouraged Dylan Roof’s hand and gave vocabulary to some black dog in
his head that snarled, “You can do this; you have backing.”

I’m trying to appeal to people who are considering sitting this one
out and think elections don’t matter—who don’t like Democrats
reflexively, maybe, or aren’t on board with Hillary. Who say he’s a
business community guy or a family friend—”I’ll go with him.”

Know that if what Trump is calling for comes to pass, if people get
hurt, the stain is on your hands. Words matter. Intent matters.

You should be unable to live with this. Plumb deep. If you can live with this, you are indecent. There’s no other way to put it.
